How to sell this product

Taste scale & description

Taste Test is our exclusive wine & customer profiling system. Wines are scored according to their power and intensity. The score runs from 0 (luscious, sweet wines) up to 12 (full-bodied, intense dry reds).

You have a slightly sweet tooth and like wines that are ripe and juicy, rather than sharp and acidic.

Production information

Producer: Suavia

Suavia is foremost a family business – everything is done by one of the Tessari sisters, who have taken over the reins from their parents. With plenty of hard work, Arianna, Meri, Valentina and Alessandra have taken the winery to the next level, where it can rightly be regarded as one of the region’s very best. The wines are aromatic, lively and fresh with a fabulous concentration of flavour. They will make you look at Soave in a whole new light.

Production note

The grapes are fermented in barriques with using native yeast strains. The wine is then matured in oak barrels for 24 months in contact with the lees, with no racking and with repeated batonnage. It is then aged for a further 12 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Fiasco bottles, over-oaked styles and diluted flavours are just some of the hallmarks of the wines of years gone by. Their popularity and exotic nature outweighed the need for quality. But a new era has dawned for classic British favourites like Claret, Chianti, Rioja and Soave.

Late April frosts, high summer temperatures and a prolonged heatwave have significantly damaged volumes across Italy this year. Quality is good, particularly in the North West, but shortages are prevalent in Prosecco, Chianti, Brunello, the South and islands. Some areas might experience a consequent increase in pricing.

The world’s largest producer this year, Italy has been dubbed one of the main ‘winners’ of 2016, with the country enjoying slightly better growing conditions than its European counterparts. Despite being the biggest producer, Italy’s harvest is still down around 2%, while quality is generally good.

While sales of Prosecco show no sign of waning, it’s unusual to see Prosecco as the only serve at a bar. But this summer saw the launch of a Prosecco-only branded concept within Jockey Club Catering. It has been so successful, it’s now being rolled out across Levy Restaurants UK.

Rosé is too often dismissed as just a bit of fun. But there’s a whole lot of serious pink wine out there that deserves your attention. From pale salmon to nearly-red we take a look at the full spectrum of pinks and what to eat with them.

The mornings (and evenings) are darker, the trees are bare and pavements full of leaves. There’s one month of autumn left before we head into the joy (and craziness) of the festive season, so we round up four of our favourite autumnal wines – from New World Pinot to classic Barbera.

The 2017 harvest was challenging to say the least – from the Californian wild fires, to frosts and heatwaves across most of Europe. Volumes are generally down in most parts and although this is expected to lead to increased prices in certain areas, we can expect good quality wines from the 2017 vintage.
